An Anti-PK's Favorite Spell

I'd personally rather not see a "combat necklace". Although I do like the idea, I would hate to see everyone carrying one just because it's needed to compete with the murderer outside.

 

"Amulet of non detection" sounds nice, I'm picturing a rogue PK!
Maybe the balance to that is the fact they are sacrificing the armor slot of a gorget? We Can think of some other potential setback too, as to keep it fair.

 

Well, combat necklace was meant as a general thing.

It might be a "Amulet of HP regeneration" or a "Necklace of Protection", or something like that. Not like a "necklace of buff every combat stat you have!".


that would be really busted, lol

 

You guys should move to the UO forever server. It's in need of some good anti pk guilds, as reds are overrunning the server.

 

I've heard that UO forever is, erm, less that great.

Is this youtube video a good sample of UO forever? If so, I'll pass.

 

If my experience with UO has any correlation to SotA (I'm not stating that it does for certain... who knows), 2 (2% in this case) difference in hitpoints between equally skilled combatants creates and uneven playing field. UO's early item system was great because combat items were simple and well balanced. I feel that having an "hp regen amulet" would make the difference between life and death against an opponent without one. This is a step towards gear-driven PvP in my opinion, which I think we can all agree is a terrible thing indeed.

I do think we can diversify our items over UO's groundwork, but I'd rather not see them tread into the realm of combat neccesities.

 

I don't normally talk much about freeshards publicly, but this is not what he's talking about.

You posted "Ultima Forever", an arcadey bit of trash from Electronic Arts that defecates on the Ultima name.
He is referring to "UO Forever", a T2A era freeserver that uses RunUO.

Names are so similar, easy misconception for sure!

 

I am not sure if its really a good idea to advertise for freeshards around here...

 

Let us know when you reach a conclusion.

 

UO Forever wasn't even that great, anyways. When I played (on Day 1!) they had a bunch of stuff deactivated because people were already cheesing the server.

 

Jondavis just won the forum.

 

I give all credit to ImaNewbie and the makers of the world he lived in.

 

As far as the scrying spell and the amulets to counter them, I would make it that the amulet has a potency percentage, and that your scrying skill has to be high enough to overcome it. So somebody with 75 scrying would be able to bypass a 65% amulet, while the person with 55 scrying would fail. That way, crafting comes into play.

 

I think that is a fantastic idea.

 

No, not at all. That's the tablet/cell phone game that ea just came out with.
It's ultima online forever, not "ultima forever"

Check it out man.. We need a good anti pk guild on the server... You'd have a LOT to do. I just started recently to have something to play til SotA comes out..
Skill/stat gains are fast.. Gain buffs in dungeons, etc. The download comes w UO Razor for macros. Give it a try man. Let me know if you do.

 

No harm, seeing as It isn't competition since SotA isn't even out yet. It's the best, most populated shard ATM and the staff is awesome.

 

As much as I might enjoy that, I'm afraid that ship has sailed as far as the KGB is concerned. I've played free UO shards in that last year or two, but it isn't the same as it was when I started UO back during the Beta Test. There was nothing like it then. Now, it's hard to compete, which is why I'm throwing my support behind SotA as a possible UO replacement.

That is not not everyone's goal, but is my goal, realistic or not.

 

I feel you.. But in the end, even though it's a 15 year old game.. UO > eve/darkfall
